When I'm doing well, it's like I'm in a nice little ballet. Everything is going slow all around me. It's very peaceful.

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

I think in the bullpen you can tell during your warmups, if you have a good feel for it. But anything can happen once you get into a game. Sometimes you just wind up throwing it better than ever before one day without knowing why.

Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too "cool" or too uncomfortable to ask for it.

Big league defense is going to get outs most times.

I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me.

I can relate to anyone. I can hang out with stoners, skaters, surfers, stockbrokers, lawyers, athletes, rappers. I feel I can hang out with any group of people and find common ground to talk with them.
